Lyrics

I went down to the ocean today
November blew through me and blew me away
With a phone in my hand, I heard the sea smile
She said, "What is twelve years but the laugh of a child?"
With trembling fingers, your number I dialed
I taste salt as I hold my breath
And the waves lap at my workboots again and again
I recall our trouble with tightness of chest
And if all's well that ends well, this wasn't the best
Hello
Hello
Hello
You were the wise one and I was the thief
I squandered my body to find some relief
I guess we're no better than the company we
Then there's the ocean, wild places to roam
And I was on the ship Valiant, I was waving at home
I fished the cod on the northern banks
And those great oil tankers, well, I filled those tanks
Once on the Bering, I was man overboard
I lost two fingers, but never was cold
Hello
Hello
Hello
There's been fields and rivers and mountain tops
And I've kept on running and I've never stopped
I've left my sins messy and all of these tears, well
In this great ocean, amount to less than a drop
No, this isn't step five, should have thought of that quicker
Out of all of my problems, the least was the liquor
Hello
Hello
Hello
It's me
I went down to the ocean today
November blew through me and blew me away
With a phone in my hand and fences to mend
Maybe tomorrow, I'll even push send
